World Day of the Sick—26th Anniversary

The 160th Anniversary of the Apparition of Our Lady of
Lourdes Healing Christ Ministry invites you to pray for all
who are ill on this special day, the 26th Annual World Day
of the Sick. Initiated by Pope John Paul II in 1993, he
asked all believers to seek "a special time of prayer and
sharing, of offering one's suffering for the good of the
Church and of reminding everyone to see in his/her sick
brother or sister the face of Christ who, by suffering,
dying, and rising, achieved the salvation of mankind." We
are called as a community to manifest God's love and
mercy for those suffering; people we know and people we
do not know.

We invite you to take time out in your busy day to
connect with our Good Shepherd community and our
global community to request healing in prayer through
Our Lady of Lourdes to the Healing Christ this Sunday.
